  • We gave Chris Akrigg our all new adventure bike, the 2018 Guide, to take out for a spin and this is what he said; “This is the most fun I've had on a bike for ages! It's super quick on roads and gravel but strong enough to take on some pretty serious lines, plus it has somewhere to put your beers! Cheers.”
    Watch this with headphones on!

      Seth's Bike Hacks except for that quarry gap that nearly killed him. That wasn't good for anyone.

    Nice job. I particularly liked the lack of loud "shredding" music in this video -- made me connect with the experience a lot more.

    appreciate the fact there isn't another epic symphony playing through this as a montage.

    Chris has the most powerful but even smooth ridingstyle combined with trial skills i have ever seen. And i am glad that you keep the tradition with crossing a creek in your vids !
    It is always a pleasure to watch your videos and always a motivation to get better....
    Great to see you riding again. I hope you are not switching to roadbikes generally ;-)

    Soothing and exciting all in one vid. I like that there is no music, just the sound of the outdoors.

    Chris Akrigg's got more control climbing that steep slope than I have walking up the stairs. Lol

    Akriggs riding is great, it fill that hole you know, just great. The video is made even better by not having an ounce of music. Kudos for that, I hope it was Chris's idea, he doesn't need music. (none of the pros do really, but this was extra nice. Cheers CA

    XC cranks, xc pedals on a drop bar road bike? I thought I was the only one doing that for the last 4 years xD. Good to see the bike industry coming to its senses and putting proper gear ratios on adventure bikes. #kudo

      Absolutely true, very skilled rider just give him a bike and he'd ride that think like u never imagined was possible. Unfortunately a bit underrated, I'm guessing being shy and not sponsors hungry doesn't fit in today's Product Manager.
      Wish him healthy days.

    Some riders look as though they are one with the bike, in an almost intimate way. This looked more like a forceful (& skilled) violation. I bet the bike needed a cup of tea and a lie down too afterwards!
